Reviewed 5 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed

This protein supplement provides a good source of protein from whey concentrate and isolate, suitable for adults. The product is generally well-formulated for its intended purpose, with no major safety concerns for the general adult population. However, the use of 'Added Natural & Nature-Identical Flavouring Substances' without further specification reduces transparency. While the product includes several botanical extracts, their very low concentrations mean they are not counted as a formulation strength.

What’s favorable

  • Ultrafiltered Whey Protein Concentrate
  • Cross Flow Filtered Whey Isolate

Adult protein supplement with good protein sources, but limited transparency on flavors.

This supplement offers a blend of whey protein concentrate and isolate, making it a good choice for adults seeking protein. It contains 'Natural & Nature-Identical Flavouring Substances' which lack specific disclosure, reducing transparency. Several botanical extracts are included, but their low amounts mean they are not counted as a formulation strength.

Okay for: Healthy adults

Not intended for children

This is an adult sports-nutrition supplement, formulated for adults for exercise and training. It is not intended for infants or young children.

Why the score is capped

Sold for sport, but the label names no independent banned-substance or purity test (Informed Sport, NSF Certified for Sport). A brand's own "tested" statement is not a certificate

Rule S-CAP-02 · Source: Absence of a named certification on the label we hold; not a finding that the product is contaminated

What's good

Contains high-quality whey protein concentrate and isolate for muscle support.

Uses Stevia as a natural, calorie-free sweetener.

Includes digestive enzymes (papain, bromelain) which may aid protein digestion, though in trace amounts.

Watch out for

Lack of transparency regarding the specific components of 'Herbs Blend' and 'Added Natural & Nature-Identical Flavouring Substances'.

Botanical extracts and enzymes are present in trace amounts, making significant health benefits unlikely.

Decode Label Analysis

This lack of transparency makes it difficult to assess potential interactions or individual sensitivities.

Claim check

Front-of-pack marketing claims checked against this product's actual ingredients and nutrition. "Can't verify" means the label does not provide enough information to check the claim — it is not the same as the claim being false.

?
"FOR HER" Can't verify

Age suitability or gender-specific claims are regulatory designations that cannot be checked from the ingredient list.

?
"SUPPORTS BETTER METABOLISM" Can't verify

The label does not provide information or studies to substantiate the claim of supporting better metabolism.

?
"SUPPORTS RECOVERY & ENERGY" Can't verify

The label does not provide information or studies to substantiate the claim of supporting recovery and energy.

?
"4.7G BCAA*" Can't verify

The label does not state the amount of BCAA, so the 4.7g concentration cannot be confirmed.

?
"NUTRA CEUTICAL FOR WOMEN" Can't verify

The designation 'Nutraceutical' and 'For Women' are regulatory or marketing classifications that cannot be confirmed or denied from the ingredient list.

✓

The ingredient list includes Ultrafiltered Whey Protein Concentrate and Cross Flow Filtered Whey Isolate for protein, and a Herbs Blend, Shatavari Root Extract, Flax Seed Extract, Green Tea Powder, Tulsi Leaf Extract, Cinnamon Bark Extract, and Curcumin Extract for herbs.

Trace amounts: some named ingredients appear in token quantities or low in the list. At these concentrations a meaningful benefit is unlikely, and their front-of-pack prominence may not reflect their level in the formulation.

In label order — normally largest quantity first. Select a row for the full write-up and sources.

These are major food allergens named on the ingredient list. They are a risk only to people allergic to them — not a general-population safety issue — so they do not lower the safety score. Anyone with the allergy should avoid this product, and check the pack’s own allergen statement.

About this analysis: Based on declared label information and available evidence. Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test products, and a score is not a regulatory determination or medical advice.

Disclaimer: Safety scores are Decode Label-generated assessments based on publicly available regulatory data (FSSAI, WHO, EFSA, IARC) and peer-reviewed research. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice, and they are not a regulatory determination, a laboratory safety certification or a medical diagnosis. Ingredient safety can vary by individual health conditions, concentration, and usage context. Decode Label is an independent information service and scores every brand by the same rules. No brand pays for or influences its score. Our founder also founded the personal-care brand Botani Bestie (see our story); its products are scored exactly like everyone else's. Data limitations: This assessment is based on the information declared on the product label and the evidence sources above — Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test this product. Ingredient concentrations, sourcing and manufacturing can vary between batches and are not always disclosed. A finding that is not shown here means it was not identified from the available label information, not that it has been ruled out.
